On the way home I passed a white R32 with its front caved in on south rd, the 2 Lanes of traffic by the smoke mart on South Road, where blocked with traffic being diverted.

It looked nasty so I hope this was no one from here, if it was I hope you escape with no or minor injuries.

my back dont look like its been hit at all, when i open my boot tho..... thats when u can see it lol. yeh he has insurance and all, its just a head f***. when it happened i just wanted to kill the guy, when he got out the car the first thing he said was "happy new years", this small asian man, that had the worst engrush id ever heard...

he has been helpful in getting this all sorted tho so i have no beef with him.

i hope the driver of the white 32 is ok tho.

Hey everyone,

that was my 32 GTR last night, but luckly nobody was injured in the accident.

My car is probably written off, and ive only hade it for 3 months, plus I have heaps of parts in my room to mod it, so im loving life right now, but everybody walked out of it so im glad.

I guess the search for a new GTR begins soon.

Are you able to comment on what happened?

I couldn't see any other damaged vehicles

Yeah mate,

basically, i came out of my mates street, about 2 streets up and was in the right lane, and a land cruiser facing the opposite way was waiting to turn right, he started to go, hesitated and stopped, then cut in front of me, didnt have enought time to brake, and went into his passanger rear door.

His car was still drivable, but mine was stuffed.

Good news is that I spoke to the insurance company, and as it isnt my fault, I dont have to pay excess.

Saw my car today to get my personal stuff, i nearly shed a tear, its a complete writen off. Here are some pics of it:

Yeah I was thinking about buying it back, its currently getting towed straight to pickles auctions, where the insurance company is going to assess it, I still have the first option to buy it back, but I dont know how much I have to pay to get it back yet.

The motor still looks good, but I think the gearbox actually got pushed back. It also has garrett gt2860's on it, and the enkei rims are still ok.

Depending on your own mechanical knowledge it might be worth trying to get someone to have a look over it for you who would know what is undamaged and reusable before buying it back.

Really glad that no one was hurt but damn! I feel for you mate. Good luck!

Even if YOU dont buy it back, you may find someone on here willing to pay the to buy it as is. They would need to get the cash to you quickly, but when the insurance company offer you the wreck you dont have to give them an answer that day.

(My guess is the wreck will cost you $7000)

can i ask what speed you was doing just curious cause you got alot of damage and you still have the front reo bar,i've seen a few skylines around with NO reo bar(big fmic)

wonder if the reo bar helped save your engine.

EDIT:just trying to guage how fast in a skyline causes X amount of damage.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
